I wish i would have known, that writting is my passion. That there are so many words in the dictionary and i want to know them all, just for the sake of understanding every single thing i read without hesitation. I wish i would of known how critical it is now to want people to feel my words and literaly feel them in their souls because i have felt every word of Emily dickenson's poem "Tulips" the very first time i read it. The feeling is one i am trying to master with my own work, these tiny goosebumps.

When looking for a college, I didn't think that I would want to be too close to home. Due to this thinking, I almost did not apply to the University of Hartford. I attended high school in West Hartford and live only a half our from the campus. My advisor convinced me to apply and tour the school. It was the best decision I have ever made. I wish that I had known what a wonderful school the University of Hartford is so I wouldn't have balked at applying. Sometimes the best place is right around the corner!

Brittany

I wish I knew that the food was so awful and that there weren't any alternatives on campus. Our price for food is unusually high and the content and quality is awful.

Erika

I wish I had known there was little opportunity for me (within my own major) to explore other interests. This is not the case for the entire university, but it is for the BFA Actor Training program.

Tierra

I wish I would have known about the work load I was about to be handed.

Yahshannah

That it was going to be so hard to get the funds that i needed in order to pay for the school .

Jade

I wish I had known what i wanted to major in before attending the University of Hartford, so that i could have avoided the stresses of fitting the requiremed classes into 4 years. I also wish i had known about chegg.com, a book rental site, in order to save money on books.

Alyssa

What the student body was like. I also wish I had taken a campus tour and explored the city a bit more.

Catherine

I wish I had known that there would not be many weekend activities, but the lack of activities leaves time for homework and projects.
